(ADW) When it was first announced that the legends of metal Iron Maiden were to play Luxembourg, it sparked a frenzy and scramble to buy tickets. In fact beating all previous records set by Muse and Depeche Mode, the Iron Maiden tickets sold out in less than two hours.

This has now meant that organisers, den Atelier, have decided to rethink the Rockhal venue, originally planned for the concert as it would have left many fans disappointed.

The plans now are to move the concert to an open-air stage in Roeser at the site of Rock-A-Field.

The Atelier released the following announcement: “Due to overwhelming demand, the Iron Maiden tour date in Luxembourg on July 1 will now be held at the 12,000 capacity main field at the Rock-A-Field Festival Ground, Roeser after the original location at Rockhal sold out within two hours, the fastest ever sell-out time at this indoor venue. Swedish heavy rock phenomenon, Ghost will be special guests at this show”.

The band's lead singer Bruce Dickinson reacted: “We were thrilled to hear about the amazing response from Luxembourg to the show announcement! Moving to the new open-air location means more fans will now be able to come and join us. We’ll be bringing the full Maiden England show production with us and fully intend to make it a very memorable evening for everyone!”
